Only a few more days and the eaders of the Journal, along with the few people who do not read it, will stop to consider that Thanksgiving day has arrived, and to give a thought, perhaps, to what they have to be thankful for. Perhaps some of them will answer, very little, out we re lieve almost everyone will agree with us that a serious thought will reveal a great many reasons for giving thanks. For one thing, the election is over, hven the ueicatcu candid ates are thankful of that, and the innocent bystanders are one and all throwing mental cartwheels through sheer joy at the relief. Perhaps we are not all thankful it's over. 'I'll en agan, the hot weather is gone, and with it the heavy sum mer work. Of course we will all keep busy in the winter, too, but we will be thankful for a change. Crops have been good as a rule and the person who takes this as too much a matter of course to be thankful for that is a mighty un gratelul citizen, most 01 us are still alive, some more than others, and a lot of us ought to be con siderably thankful for that alone (eiiing away irom me tilings right around us. However, every person who is living now ought to be thankful for his opportunity. The pessimist will tell you that the world is getting worse and will point to the dissenlion in the churches, the revelations of graft and crime and all the other unsavory things that are coming to light today to prove his argu ment. We do not believe all this, and we are thankful that we don't. The world is getting better every day, and we are thankful we are here to see it and believe it and help make it true. The United States, and the whole world, is in a period of transition and revolu tion nnd change, but we firmly be lieve that it is all a .change for the better. When graft anil crime is brought to light it means to us that this graft, and crime is being stamped out and will not lie al lovrd o go on as it has been do ing under cover. When we see thinking people dissatisfied with many things in the churches of today, we believe that it does not J mean a letting down in the moral ami spiritual attitude and stand ing of these people, but a desire o correct manv things which very one of us knows can be omul in connection with almost every church organization. Maybe you have been up against rouble this year and feel that the world has given you little to he thankful for individually. For your individual troubles we are sorry, but try to forget that in taking a bigger, broader view of the world today and we think you will agree that it is a good old world after all, and you are thank ful you' have been permitted to ive in it.

The comma is a very small thing, yet it cuts an important 11 guru sometimes in the transac tion of business. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the follow ing incident, which shows the power of the comma: The absence of a comma in an insurance contract cost a Kansas City man $7,000. Had the comma been placed after the word in the contract, J. Sidney Smith would have received the money. The suit was to collect, payment for the loss of grain destroyed on a side track near an elevator. The sentence in the contract which was in issue in the suit read: "drain in cars on sidetrack with in one hundred feet, of the ele vator." Smith contended the .sentence should read: "drain in cars on sidetrack, within one hundred feet of eleva tor." The court, however, held that if hould read: "('rain in cars, on sidetrack ."ithin one hundred feet of eleva- or. Prof. J. W. Gamble III. From Saturday's Dally. The many friends here of ex Superintendent J. W. Gamble will learn with regret of his illness in Omaha and that his condition has become such that it was found necessary to remove him to the Clnrkson hospital for treatment. Tt is to Je hoped that it will not be necessary to perform an opera tion upon him and that he may soon be able to resume his duties. TELEPHONE BUILDING RE- Fl TIE UP AT NEBRASKA CITY TO RECRUIT PROVISIONS Rebekah Social. From Saturday's Dally. A large number of ladies as sembled at the pleasant home of Mrs. M. Hild yesterday afternoon, at which time the Rebekah lodge held a social meeting. The lime was enjoyably whiled away in games, interspersed with social conversation and music, which made the occasion a most de- ighlful one. During the course of the afternoon the hostess served some excellent refresh ments, which was likewise thor oughly appreciated. At a late hour the ladies dispersed, very much indebted to Mrs. Hild for ler kind hospitality and the splen did entertainment afforded them on this occasion. 0 We have somespecial priced Rugs for you this week. From Friday's Dally. A few days ago three young men one from Lincoln and the other two from Plattsmouth- started from the mouth of the Platte for a trip to the mouth of the Mississippi. They construct ed a line boat, fully equipped, and expected to have easy sailing from their starting to their point of landing. They had not left Plattsmoulh behind but a few miles before they struck a sand bar and remained there for a few days. They were wet, cold am hungry, but could not reach the main land nor could they get help They reached here a couple o days ago and one of them is now working in the Duff garage am will remain until ho earns enough to get provisions for the others After they pass Kansas City they expect to have easy sailing. -Ne braska City News.

Prices right From Saturday's Dally. The interior of the new tele phone building is receiving the llnal touches of the painter and presents a very handsome ap pearance. The room to be use by the electrician of the company has been finished in olive green, while fh(! new room for the switch board has been painted a very soft cream color, making it very light, and at the same time a color that will not strain the eyes of the operators. The new rest room I hat the company has prepared for the employes of the company is done in two shades of blue and this room has been painted with the dull finished paint and it will make a splendid room where the telephone girls can go for a few minutes of nerve-relaxing rest. When the building is entirely completed it will be one of the most convenient, as well as the handsomest, buildings in the city, and the painter, Mr. Frank Gobel man, may well feel very proud of his work, as it is certainly very artistic.
